Love is crucial. Love is great. Love is equivalent to having everything you want and need but without paying a penny. Love is feeling safe, secure, and cared for, owing absolutely nothing. And you can tell when someone is in love by looking in their eyes, for eyes, at times, are the window to the soul.

A lover’s eyes sparkle with bliss and light up with luminous magic. Only thing about magic is that, one day, the spell ceases to exist. And that happens with those in love: eventually they grow apart or move on from each other. That sparkle, that magical spell, is broken and all you have left are eyes that continuously make tears down the broken-hearted cheeks.

Have you ever had that look in your eyes, where everyone can “see it all over your face”? I have too. And the look in the eyes of the person you love is full of wonder and excitement, lust and infatuation, and amazement. Then, the look in their eyes, one day, if it all ends, vanishes and they’re back to the normal day-by-day eye gaze.

I had that look in my eyes, then, it was swept away as life willed it to be. Why does love do that? Why does it give us “that look in our eyes”? Why is love so great but when it’s all over and done it’s the most devastating feeling to encounter, alongside that look in our eyes completely leaving us only to cry instead.

So, if you love, love to make it last. Let the look in your eyes stay magical, a spell that can never be broken. And yet, finding the person that will cast that spell isn’t all that easy. In fact, it’s one of life’s greatest journeys… finding that everlasting love. The next time you have that look in your eyes, make it so it is forever and always.
